I am still in. Day 3 of not smoking. Boy, day three sure is tough. Whine, nag, bitch, moan. LOL The choice is so clear. Quit and die from emphysema. Keep smoking and die a lot sooner from emphysema.
Thanks to Lov and Shell for extending my life.

i quit on Nov 10-2007 with the patch. on the weekend just past i had a few drags off a cigarett and on sunday had a cigarett, although most of it burned away and i just held it. i fell but am still going at te no smoking life style. actually totell ya the ruth smoking those cigaretts DIDNT have the same affect it usually does, it was in my head thati wanted a smoke to calm down and it didnt do what it used to do whn i smokd daily.
